Warwick Ghosts – Alive31st March - 28th October Warwick Castle’s infamous Ghost Tower is once more transformed into a chilling live-action spook experience. Using a mix of live actors, sound, visual and lighting effects it literally brings the true story of Warwick’s most famous ghost to life as the tale of Sir Fulke Greville’s murder is recreated.

Warwick Ghosts – Alive is screamingly good fun but visitors are advised that its scary content may make it unsuitable for children under eight or anyone of a nervous disposition. An additional charge applies and pre-booking is advised.

Great news! This was a really great short walkthrough! I thought it would be rubbish but I really enjoyed it. Will definitely get back to Warwick in main season to enjoy this!

I went to Warwick on Wednesday, And it was OK! - Nothing was open really, there were a few tours of the State Rooms, but that was it.

I think the best thing to do on that day was walk around the State Rooms and see the waxworks. Where, I saved a Cleaners life! :D

We only spent about 3hours there though, but when i've been in the summer, they've had stalls over on River Island, I still thought it was kinda rubbish though.
I don't think the Ghost Tower was that scary at all really, obviously Ghosts Alive! wasn't on, but i can't imagine it being much when it is really.

I think it's more of a Tourist attraction for Americans really, other than that it's kind of boring and overpriced during these months.

72-year-old visitor has died after falling 15ft (4.5m) from a bridge into undergrowth at a castle. Emergency crews were called to Warwick Castle on Sunday afternoon following reports the man, thought to be from Coventry, had fallen.

People attempted to resuscitate the man, who was believed to have suffered a heart attack. He was taken to hospital, but later died.

A spokeswoman for Warwick Castle said an investigation was under way.

She said it appeared the man had suffered a heart attack and fell into an area of undergrowth below the bridge.

The spokeswoman said that the health and safety of guests was the castle's "primary concern".

Investigation launched

She added: "An immediate investigation has been launched into the incident and access to the area has been closed off.

"In accordance with our health and safety procedures the Health and Safety Executive has been informed.

"The management and staff of Warwick Castle would like to express their condolences to the family at this time."

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Unfortunately, despite all of the efforts it was not possible to save him and he was confirmed dead shortly after arrival.

"We would like to pass on our thanks to the public, St John staff and the firefighters who assisted at the scene.

"The early intervention gave the man the best possible chance of survival."

SHame, but Ghosts Alive was getting a little stale. It wasn't a bad attraction, but I felt like it was wrong to charge extra on top of Warwick's already high gate price. However it was enjoyable, and added an extra incentive to visit. Without it, Warwick for me is less of a draw.

New for 2009 will be a Merlin branded "Dungeon" at Warwick Castle! Following in the footsteps of York, Edinburgh, London, Hamburg and Amsterdam, it will theoretically replace the now ceased "Ghosts Alive" from Easter 2009!
